DESCRIPTION
The Standards for Cellular Therapy Product Services, 3rd edition, were implemented in September of 2008. Do you feel you truly meet the intent of every standard or are there some where you would like additional background or information? Does your facility breeze through every assessment or do you struggle, unsure of how well you comply? If you are a CT assessor, would you like additional information on a specific standard? This session will draw on expertise from the AABB Cellular Therapy Standards and the Cellular Therapy Accreditation Program Units and also CT assessors to present examples of challenging CT standards and what facilities are doing to meet them.
